Councillor Paula Fletcher is hosting a town hall on the City’s Vision Zero Road Safety Plan. It is taking place on Monday, October 16th from 6:30 pm to 8:45 pm at the Ralph Thornton Centre. See the flyer below for details.

Vision Zero is a new approach to road safety that takes into account the needs of all road users and uses data to look at where accidents happen and who is most vulnerable. One of the areas of emphasis is school children. The new head of Transportation, Barbara Gray, will be at the Town Hall to give a presentation and answer questions.

Please go online or call 416-467-7758 to pre-register for the Kids Lunch Program. The School Code is RE58. The first day of service is Tuesday, October 17th. This service will be offered Tuesdays and Thursdays only for now.

After you register with the Kids Lunch Program, it’s easy… simply place, change or cancel your child’s custom lunch order a minimum of 2-days before the delivery date. If your child is sick, Please email kidslunch@rosereismancatering.com by 8 am day of service to receive a credit. Credits will be applied to your child’s next order

There is no long-term commitment required. This service runs order by order for maximum flexibility.

Email addresses are essential for the Kids Lunch Program service to send you confirmations, ordering reminders, password resets and other important communication. Add an email address to your profile and add noreply@orderlunches.com to your email safe list.

Lastly, be sure to confirm your payment has been processed every time you place an order through check out. An order confirmation email will be sent to you upon successful completion of the checkout process. If you do not receive an email confirmation, then go back and confirm you did indeed check out and complete the payment process.

Orders will be delivered directly to your child in the school at the start of the lunch period.

Roden School Council is seeking a team of parents or friends of the school to run our movie nights program this year! Our previous movie guru, Spencer, is willing to run the first event with you and download everything he knows, but he needs someone to handover to.

Your commitment would be just a few evenings over the course of the year, with flexibility for you to help select the dates and the movies. Contact our new chair, Jen: chair@roden.ca

To streamline communications, Roden School Council will be contributing regularly to the Principal’s monthly mail-out. The Council newsletter (signed up via this website) will still be sent out on an as needed basis throughout the school year.

Keep in touch with Council events between newsletters through Facebook (www.facebook.com/rodensc) and this website.

Please also consider joining our Volunteers email list (contact Chair@roden.ca to be added). Being on the list means you hear about upcoming events early and there’s no obligation to volunteer or respond. You can help out if and when you choose, with everything from poster
design and artwork, through photocopying and putting up posters, to baking, selling tickets and more.

One of the best ways to find out what’s going on is by attending a School Council Meeting. The next School Council meeting starts at 6pm in the Library on Wednesday 25 October. All are welcome!
